O Produtor, tasting note published in May 28th 2019
Passarella Abanico is characterized by its deep red color. On the nose there are ripe red fruits with notes of cocoa and spices. In the mouth it is full-bodied and balanced.
Classic blend wine, Abanico Reserva is born from different vineyards of Casa da Passarella. The grape varieties used are Touriga Nacional, Alfrocheiro and Jaen, and respecting the balance of the different plots chosen, we harvest the grapes manually for boxes of 12kg. Fermentation takes place in traditional cement vats and maceration is done pre and post fermentation, maturation is done partially in new French oak barrels for one year, and the whole stabilization process for bottling is done in a natural way – we do not subject this wine to any kind of filtering.
Limited to existing stock. In the case of the wine you have purchased remaining out of stock, we will contact you to propose a different wine, or to return the amount paid.

Casa da Passarella
Located in Lagarinhos, in the sub-region of Serra da Estrela, at an altitude of 600 to 800m the Casa da Passarella was founded in 1892, even before the demarcation of the Dão region (1908). With its name back in the mouths of the world, it will never be known if it was the climate, if it was the land. If it was the talent of the people who passed through here and their passionate stories and personalities. Or if it was simply luck.
One thing is certain: silent and imposing, the old mountain has seen from above the birth of great wines in this piece of land of the Dão. Great wines were born from this house and these vineyards, before they were abandoned and later valued by the current owner, Ricardo Cabral. The renovated Casa da Passarella , presents wines with rigor and with, not less delicious, labels.
